a little exaggeration
I have not written a poem since June 1st.
I haven't written a good poem since April 24th.
It's really frusterating to feel like you've run out of things to say.
For awhile, I wrote 3 or 4 poems a week, not necessarily great poems but at least I was writing something. I haven't written and worse yet I haven't had that urge to.
I'm concerned because writing is really the only way I am able to express myself and its something that I need to challenge myself and to reflect on things. When it sucks, I know it sucks and then I try and fix it. Or I move on. Whatever. Point is, theres nothing to fix if there is nothing written.
It could just be writers block.(A 4 month writers block?)
I need to do some exercises or something to get back into the rhythm of writing, and keeping thoughts in my journal.(definitely not this one, no offense.lol)
Also, I have a poetry class next semester. I'm terrified but I signed up because I feel like it would be good for me to put myself out there like that. How can I take a poetry class if I can't write anymore?
I want to try and maybe freelance for the State News. I don't know how the hell to write a news article, or how to go about researching it and all that but I want to. I'd like to eventually work on the State News but you have to have a portfolio and so freelancing would be the place to start. This is also something I'm terrified of. I realize a news article isn't nearly as exposing as a poem but I don't want to make a fool of myself. You know that saying that goes something like "its better to be silent and have people think youre stupid instead of opening up your mouth and confirming it"? Yeah, I don't want that to happen.
I don't know. I hope this is just a phase, and I hope I'm able to write something worthwhile soon and I hope I grow some balls and go talk to someone at the State News.
